As Julius Ceaser was lay dying he was asked to be taken home to lick his wounds until the tribune pointed out they were all in his back and to give it up as a bad job? |

A funny thing happened when I got to the forum...
Caesar suddenly went off toga parties...
BRB, just popping off to see Brutus, he says he wants to discuss having a stab at something with me....
A toga in public is a fashion crime - defence advice rejected by Brutus as he sacked his lawyer...
He could get away with murder in broad daylight - Brutus discussing Clarkson...
I'm here all week  |

Would he were fatter! But I fear him not,
Yet if my name were liable to fear,
I do not know the man I should avoid
So soon as that spare Cassius. He reads much;
He is a great observer and he looks
Quite through the deeds of men: he loves no plays,
As thou dost, Antony; he hears no music;
Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort
As if he mock'd himself and scorn'd his spirit
That could be moved to smile at any thing.
Such men as he be never at heart's ease
Whiles they behold a greater than themselves,
And therefore are they very dangerous.
I rather tell thee what is to be fear'd
Than what I fear; for always I am Caesar.
Come on my right hand, for this ear is deaf,
And tell me truly...
...what's that big knife you're hiding behind your back? |

"44 bc was 2060 years ago (you forgot to count year Zero)....
 "
Year zero does not exist in the Anno Domini/Common Era system usually used to number years in the Gregorian calendar and in its predecessor, the Julian calendar. In this system, the year 1 BC is followed by AD 1. However, there is a year zero in astronomical year numbering (where it coincides with the Julian year 1 BC) and in ISO 8601:2004 (where it coincides with the Gregorian year 1 BC) as well as in all Buddhist and Hindu calendars.

"What are the Ides of March I've forgotten?
"
The Ides of March is a day on the Roman calendar that corresponds to 15 March. It was marked by several religious observances and became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC.
Now we know!  |
